4:30am wake ups - help!

My LO just turned 9 months but was born at 36 weeks so is 8 months corrected. He has been waking up earlier and earlier in the last 2 weeks. We are now at 4:30am and he refuses to go back to sleep no matter what I do to try and help him! He’s generally on 2 naps a day but we’ve had to move back to 3 naps lately beca...

How do you know when the last pump is?

I'm weening off pumping (9 months in) and I'm nervous about when the "last pump is". One boob is pretty much done but the other still gets 30ml within 5 mins. I'm just wondering, when do I just stop altogether. I'm really afraid of mastitis and equally so ready to retire the pumps. I've gone from every 3/4 hours for...

Residue

Anyone know why there is little granules still in bottle? I’ve attached picture. I use the nuby and a flask. I’ve read that sometimes if the waters too hot it can do that, but this is from this morning and I filled the flask up last night so I would’ve thought the water wouldn’t be boiling in the flask anymore and ...

Sleeping

Does anybody else’s baby thrash around in their sleep at night time? My little girls sleeps soundly on me, as soon as I put her down, her legs and arms go wild and she grunts. This means I can’t sleep as she keeps me awake and I’m constantly checking on her. Please help! One tired mama here

Baby kicking legs at 5am.

My 11 week old wakes around 5am kicking and screaming. I assume it’s gas? I know it’s developmental but is anyone experiencing the same and if so are you doing anything to help? Anyone using probiotics?

6 weeks

How long did everyone wait after giving birth to have sex? My boyfriend is feeling neglected and thinks I don't have time for him anymore. With a toddler and a new baby, it's extremely challenging because I'm a stay-at-home mom. I thought he would understand how I feel, especially since he works during the week and ...

Xanax and breastfeeding

Has anyone taken low dose Xanax while breastfeeding? I feel like that is the only thing that will help me at this point with my anxiety and help to take the edge off and hopefully get some sleep. I already have to supplement some with formula, so my baby isn’t exclusively breastfed. Any insight would be super helpful!

Meals

My baby is waking in the night, she gets enough day time sleep, her naps are early enough before bed and she definitely gets enough milk. I'm wondering if I'm not feeding her enough at meal times. How much typically are we giving? TIA

Formula - night feeds

Is anyone else’s formula fed baby still wanting a feed in the night every 3 hours??? I know breastfeed babies want feeding regularly but my boy has 5, 6oz bottles in the day and is still wanting 2 or 3 in the night. Just seems excessive?
